I wouldn't be surprised if there are several from the boards watching, they're probably just not posting about it. Although I must admit I'm watching that Mays. It's out of my league, but I am curious to see what it will close for.

How is a card so badly off centered graded an 8? According to psa standards shouldn't that be a 6 or 7?
I have bought cards from him before. I just snipe what I think the card is worth.

I would bet there are several from the boards bidding and consigning. Some even on the same item.

Not like this is new news, but these auctions really get me mad with all of the shill bidding. I am watching 3 identical items on ebay. They are all PSA. I mean they are identical. They all close within 3 days of each other. Two of them are currently at around $10 and the one being sold by probstein is already at $30. The current high bidder has 400 bids this month and over 50% are with Probstein. Really, ebay!? Give me a break!!!

Have won things from Probstein recently and been happy. Also lost some but wasn't very unhappy. No doubt there is shilling going on on ebay but I am not sure the largest sellers can control it very well. Friends of friends and all.....

Probstein sells tons of cards. Of course they can't "police" it all. That is their alibi.

All the ingredients are there for shilling to happen.

Probstein makes more $.
eBay makes more $.
The seller makes more $.
Buyer loses $.

Not that all are shilled, but this is the perfect business model for this stuff to happen.

Then why don't you focus on the $10 cards and ignore the $30 cards? If more people did that, some of the smaller sellers might be more willing to auction off cards instead of seeing their items sell for peanuts. I know I fit into that category......just gets old seeing their SGC 3's sell for as much as my PSA 5's.

Put a great looking card up and do everything right and it won't go for peanuts. Too many people looking for great cards to let them go for nothing, imo....

I do ignore Probstein items. Actually, I have never even bid on a Probstein auction. I refuse to do business with him. But that is just me. I just was doing a search and I came across this issue, which is why I posted.
